So this is interesting.
This article says he agreed to a 5 year deal which runs through the 2026 season.
Saints, Sean Payton agree to five-year contract extension
[jwplayer p73LPGir-ThvAeFxT] The New Orleans Saints and head coach Sean Payton have agreed to terms on a five-year contract extension to keep him in town through the 2026 season, as first reported …saintswire.usatoday.com
We just completed the 2021 season (almost) so the new 5 deal deal would have gone into effect next year....?
So did he never sign the extension and is a FA?
I do think he might want a break but no question he has cap problems and no long-term answer at QB.
Best decision is to wash his hands of it all and start new somewhere else in 2023.
at some point, his verified contract terms will hit the web... I thought he had three years left, but can't find where i read it... otherwise I would have linked it...
And those final deals the saints sent Brees' way really hurt that team... left them financially crippled tbh, and its still hitting their cap in 2022 for 11.5m... the talent drain out of there due to economics was brutal... look at the 2021 dead money list on otc, its got 45 players on it... eek... not all off season or cap cuts, but damn... No real super stars, but good, quality depth...
